<TITLE>09. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 Not long ago, standing here, Gary, Indiana, I was taken by a man into the mills. And I was watching them as they was sweeping the... About time to quit they swept their little--little shavings out into the floor. And the man told me, said, "Now, watch this a minute." And he pressed a button, way back into somewhere come a great magnet; it came down, and as it passed through that great pile of shavings, those shavings just clung right onto this great magnet. Went out there and demagnetized it, dropped into the--to the great foundry and was molded over, the great molding kettle.
I stood there for a moment and my--my heart was a jumping. I said, "Praise the Lord."
And the man said, "What's the matter Mr. Branham?"
I said, "I was thinking."
He said, "You surely must." I think I scared him.
And when I said, "Way back yonder somewhere is a magnet setting." And I said, "I want to ask you a question." I said, "Why didn't all those shavings go?"
He said, "Some of them, Sir, is aluminum; they were not magnetized to the magnet."
I hollered, "Praise the Lord." And I said, "But why didn't that piece of iron go?"
Said, "It's bolted to the floor."
I said, "Praise the Lord."
Oh, brother, the Lord Jesus is coming someday, the great Eagle of heaven, and only those who are magnetized by the power of the Holy Ghost will take that ride. Bolted down creeds, and denominations, and shavings of aluminum light thinkers, light ambitions... I think the Church of God should be the highest thinker, the highest ambitions that there is in the world ought to dwell with Christians: To press the mark to the high calling of Christ, certainly.

L-33 One day up there in the mountain, I'd been hunting elk. It was early in the season; the snows hadn't come to run them down yet. So I had to go plumb up in around timberline. I was walking down through there; there was no person within seventy miles of me, as I knew. Mr. Jefferies, the rancher, he had took another trail and went another way, and we was to meet about four days later.
And I tied my horse that morning and went way high up in the realms, where years ago I used to chase out the cattle. One day while up in there, I was walking, hunting for the elk, and all of a sudden there come up a rain. And I got in behind a tree by an old blow down, which had crossed over the mountains years before, and the rain passed over. And it will rain awhile; then little snow awhile; and the sun will shine, so forth, in the early fall, in October in the high Colorado mountains.

L-34 And I was amazed by something that happened that day; it's always been on my heart. As I watched the rain pass, I got a little bit wet, so I was wiping my face off and walked out from behind the tree. While standing out there I heard way back up into the head of the hollow, an old wolf got to hollering, and his mate answered him down in the valley.
My mother's a half Indian, as you all know, and oh, when David said, "When the deep calleth to the deep..." Something down in here calling, and I love the wild. And when I heard that old wolf howl, and the mate answered it, something way down inside of me begin to call out.
I looked; the sun was peeping through the rocks in the western horizon, as it was going down; and I seen that sun moving. And it was shining against the evergreens, where they had froze from the rain, and there formed a rainbow. Just then, the elk herd I'd been after, I heard the big old elk male bugle way back over in the great thickets. Oh, I begin to weep; I couldn't help it. Something in me loves nature. "And when the deep calls to the deep, at the noise of Thy waterspouts..."
